PBS's Frontline Spotlights Neuropathology in Documentary Film

In the film, which airs Tuesday, Oct. 8 beginning at 9 pm EST,
FRONTLINE investigates the hidden story of the NFL’s response to head
injuries. Through interviews with former players, scientists and neuropatholgists, it examines what the NFL knew about the
risks of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and when it knew it. Dr. Bennet Omalu, the first neuropathologist to draw a connections between playing football and the development of CTE, is featured in this remarkable documentary.
